You are a unicorn stallion, who serves as a teacher in Canterlot's Magical Academy. As your students celebrate Nightmare Night, some of them try to perform a ritual and in an effort to clean up their mess you accidentally summon a succubus.

So... what if instead of Twilight going to see Moondancer in Canterlot, Moondancer moved to Ponyville and was greeted by an exuberant pink party pony?

This story is very short and does not go beyond a first meeting. Moondancer's friendship issues aren't resolved here either. I thought it would be fun to see how these two characters would've interacted with one another for the first time under non-canon circumstances.

first to comment he, hewell it seems interesting, I hope twin, find out as soon as moon, this in the cityand what will be the reaction, pinkie to know the reason that moon, does not like parties and does not trust to make friends

Ponyville hadn't been her first choice when it came to what she saw as a good place to live, especially considering that it was the town where Twilight Sparkle, The Princess of Friendshipresided. But all things considered, Moondancer didn't have all that much of a choice.

It's just that it's a one-shot and I didn't go deep into that because it was only about her meeting Pinkie. It was just a little 'what if?' scenario. Namely, "What if Pinkie was the one who committed to becoming friends with Moondancer instead of Twilight?"

Saw it was a one-shot, even had "Complete" tag, and figured the whole thing would be wrapped up quick.

Nope.

Disappointed.

Not even gonna lie about it, I was disappointed that this just gave us the premise and that was it. Especially when you said you were just that kind of person, who only writes one-shots. Could've worked with that, but...

I can't even call this a story.

Full disclosure: I tried to keep this to just sharing my honest feelings about this and OUT of author-bashing territory.

I just hope I succeeded.

Addendum: I'm gonna also add on that I don't think you should give up. Anyone who says that doesn't deserve to be here. I AM going to say, though, that you could've done better.

And I hope you do with the next one of yours that catches my interest.

9404422Yes, it's AU as you said. Well, I had imagined her sister was the same one from the Amending Fences episode. As for the distant cousin it could be anypony really. Glad you liked the interactions.

This was a really fun read; loved Moondancer's reactions to Pinkie's behavior; really made me laugh out loud. You really got their personalities nailed. Didn't mind the length; anypony could just imagine what a 2nd encounter might be like. Two thumbs up for this piece, no fooling!
